Busy busy bees

It has been a very busy last few days. My birthday was yesterday, Eli's 2-month checkup was yesterday, we started putting up our fence on Saturday, Jeremy's family has been in town, Jeremy's mom and I have been sewing curtains and bumper pads for the baby's room, and I think that's about it. So I have a lot of pictures and a lot of stuff to talk about. So for now we'll hit the highlights and I'll put up pictures later.

• Eli was weighed and measured at his checkup yesterday and he is 14 lbs. 1.4 oz! He is in the 93rd percentile for weight, 79 for height (almost 24 in.) and 73 for head size. He's a growing boy! He also got his shots, but was a real trooper. He only cried when he got them and then I gave him Tylenol and he was great the rest of the day/night.
• Jeremy and his dad started working on our fence on Saturday. It is a lot of work. They dug all 30 holes on Saturday and then had a much needed day of rest on Sunday (although Jeremy was gone 8am-4pm & 6:30pm - 9:45pm with church stuff). Then yesterday Jeremy took the day off and they got all the posts set up and about a quarter of the runners. They've been amazing!
• While the men have been working outside, us women-folk have been of course caring for the baby and doing a lot of sewing. Okay, so I don't sew, but I ironed and pinned, etc. and Debbie sewed. We finished everything!
• Yesterday was my birthday and we went out to Tucanos for dinner with Jeremy's parents, grandma, sister, brother and his date. It was a party! Oh, and Eli was awake all through dinner just as sweet as could be. What a great baby!
  

I'll be sure to put up pictures soon. I just need to load them up and finish taking some more. So for now, here's one to wet your appetite. :)
